Chapter 280: Aftermath
Jules’ pov
If anyone had told me that this was how this whole thing would end, I’d have called them a silly liar. But here I am now, in tears, with my mate gone to where I have no idea of, and from the last minutes we spent together, it didn’t seem like he recognized what I looked like.
I let out a ragged breath and tried to control my racing heart, forcing myself to stop crying as well. As I let my eyes wander around the amount of chaos scattered around me, I reminded myself that it was pointless to cry right now because it wasn’t gonna change a thing.
I was supposed to be bursting with happiness right now. Despite everything that happened throughout, my mate and I still ended up surviving. But what is the point of surviving when my mate is not with me right now?
Blaze had turned into a demon and he had flown away after butchering his father and thoroughly dealing with mine as well. My eyes zeroed in on his father’s dead body, it was a really gory mess with all his insides scattered around. I glanced away and swallowed slowly, and then I got to my feet.
The first that had previously been burning had fully died down at this point. I let out a long breath and raked my fingers through my hair, and then I began to walk back in the direction blaze and I had ran from.
A small movement caught my eyes and on turning sideways; shock engulfed me in realizing that my father was still alive.
He was gasping for breath and holding a hand up to me. His eyes were swollen and only one was a little open. His nose was in pieces and his jaw was dislocated. His shoulders were dislocated as well, a large rock was tripping the lower part of his body to the ground, and a large pool of blood was underneath his body.
I swallowed emptily as I made my way towards him to crouch by his side. He was struggling to speak but I could detect that he was pleading for me to help him out. The laugh that escaped my lungs was long and hard, and then I shook my head as I glanced down at him. I felt a little surprised, despite everything blaze did to him, he was still breathing. He’s clearly a fighter.
